A Tiger Woods slam would set up controversial bettor for life

Dana Schwartz

When Adducci spoke to The Action Network after his big win, not only did he say it was his first sports bet, but that he had a hunch that Tiger would win them all and he was thinking about making that bet.

The 39-year-old Wisconsin native placed his bet through William Hill U.S.at the SLS Casino in Las Vegas - the same sportsbook he used for his Master wager, according to Golf Digest.

James Adducci won $1.2m on a Woods' bet.

Woods himself hasn't said that he is looking for another Grand Slam title, but this hasn't dissuaded Adducci from sticking to his guns.

Adducci would have been able to get 500-1 at William Hill if he made this Tiger bet back in February.

He has placed a $100,000 bet that Woods will win the Grand Slam this year. The $100,000 bet is the most extravagant thing he has done with his winnings. He apparently doesn't believe in beginner's luck, as the $100,000 he's now putting on Tiger would net him $10 million.

"Tiger has history winning at Bethpage, and he won at Pebble, by the biggest margin in history", Adducci said. He's the definition of excelling under pressure.

Tiger Woods (R) of the United States is awarded the Green Jacket by Masters champion Patrick Reed (L) during the Green Jacket Ceremony after winning the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on April 14, 2019 in Augusta, Georgia. "That's how my brain works". Of course, at that time, Jones, the greatest amateur golfer ever, won the U.S. Amateur and British Amateur to complete the Grand Slam, along with the U.S. Open and Open Championship.
